Back to Square One

George knew where Lennie went, and he knew that it wouldn't take long for Curley to find him and kill him. George went to the bunkhouse coming face to face with Curley. "Curley don't you go after Lennie with your guns ablazing, he didn't mean to kill your wife, he don't know how to be mean he's as dumb as a stump" George said. "Get out of my way for Pete's sake, there'll be hell to pay for what he has done" Curley replied; his nostrils flaring. "Curley you have my back against the wall, I can't let you kill Lennie" George said. "That dummy will be sleeping with the fishes by the end of a day" Curley yelled his arm going towards his gun. "Now Curley don't get all bent out of shape, there is no need to get all worked up, i just don't want my friend dead" George said. "How can you call that monster your friend, he's a god damned murderer" Curley replied his eyes bulging. "Well Curley I can't let you kill him" George said and brought Carlson's Luger out from behind his back and shot Curley in the head. "you didn't even stand a chance" George finished. George ran to the riverbank where he had told Lennie to hide. They were going to have to leave, go far away and start to look for work again back to square one.

The Power that Crushes all Others

Super powers, what every child dreams of. An unlimited amount, a never ending selection. There are obvious ones which most people would choose, from super strength to flight, from super speed to telekinesis. To me there is one that stands above the others, one that would win over any of the others in battle. Some people could perceive it as useless and boring, but compared to it the other powers are just ordinary. When you think about it though, any person with any other power wouldn't stand a chance. This power could not be developed through radiation, mutation and any other way most super powers come into existence. This power is not easily obtained. Just think if someone who had enough strength to crush you with their littlest finger was coming at you, and you were stuck and couldn't go anywhere; what would you do. No amount of intelligence can get you out of it, no amount of speed can help you escape, your trapped you cannot fly away, and you cannot put objects in his way. What can you do, maybe changed their mind, and maybe get them to do something else for you. Now how would you be able to do that, that's what the most amazing super power is. The ability to control minds.
